Filter by:The purpose of this study is to reveal the efficacy and safety of integrative korean medicine treatment for pregnant women who suffered a traffic accident. A retrospective chart review and follow-up were conducted. From January 1, 2018 to April 22, 2022, pregnant women who visited an korean medicine hospital due to a traffic accident were subjected to a retrospective study of patient medical records and follow-up.
This study is a single blind, randomized controlled trail. condition/disease: Post-accident syndromes after acute phase treatment/intervention: herbal medicine treatment strategy
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the risk, consequences and epidemiology of electric scooter accidents admitted to the emergency room at St. Pierre University Hospital. This prospective observational study aims to include any patient admitted to the Adult Emergency Department of St.Pierre University Hospital Brussels following an accident related to the use of an electric scooter in order to describe and understand the epidemiology, complications and treatment of injuries associated with this means of transport. It is intended to include all accidents occurring in the emergency room during the period from 01/06/2019 to 30/06/2020.
This study mainly to investigate the prevalence of road crash involvement and its associated factors (fatigue, demographic factors, sleep quality, and mental health status, number of working hours) among medical doctors in Malaysia.
A) The main purposes of this study are (i) to develop a related virtual reality (VR) environment in order to judge the nighttime driving ability under mesopic and under glare conditions (ophthalmologically healthy subjects and patients with incipient to intermediate cataract, i.e. opacities of the human lens, will participate in this study), (ii) to validate the above-mentioned VR environment with respect to a related on-road driving scenario under mesopic and glare conditions, (iii) to validate clinical photopic and mesopic contrast vision tests and glare tests with respect to the prediction of nighttime driving ability, (iv) to assess the test retest reliability of clinical photopic and mesopic contrast vision tests B) Background: An intact mesopic vision and a glare sensitivity within a normal range are essential pre-requisites for safe driving at nighttime (DOG & BVA, 2011). Anderson & Holiday (1995) have shown that (simulated) opacities of the refractive media (with only minor effects on daytime visual acuity) induce a pronounced impairment of contrast sensitivity under nighttime conditions. Especially under glare conditions by the headlights of traffic on the opposite lane or by stationary street illumination, an impairment of the mesopic vision may cause traffic hazards. The prevalence of impairments of the central visual acuity, the mesopic vision and the glare sensitivity is significantly higher for subjects being involved in nighttime traffic accidents (Lachenmayr, 1998). Furthermore, these impairments occur more frequently in aged drivers and are, among others, related to an increase of age-related media opacities (Aulhorn & Harms, 1970, Babizhayev, 2003). Due to the demographic change, the relevance of nighttime driving ability is increasing in the next years since more and more aged employees will participate at the motorized traffic at night. The German Fahrerlaubnisverordnung (FEV i.e. driving license regulation) specifies pass/fail criteria with regard to mesopic vision and glare sensitivity. The luminance level during nighttime driving is usually between 0.01 and 1 cd/m^2, and therefore can be attributed to the level of mesopic vision. However, over the last years, the attempt was made to introduce photopic contrast sensitivity test to diagnose nighttime driving ability (i.e. testing of contrast vision under daytime conditions without time consuming adaptation procedures). Current research aims at investigating the relationship between contrast tests under various luminance conditions (Wilhelm et al, 2013). It is questionable, whether photopic tests are at all reliable predictors with regard to nighttime driving (Gramberg-Danielsen et al., 1984, Hertenstein et al., Graefe´s Archive of Ophthalmology, 2016).
Objectives: The main objective of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a brief intervention to reduce drinking-driving behavior. Methods: Design: Pilot multicentre before/after intervention study without control group. Participants: We aim to recruit, from 01/01/2013 to 01/05/2013, 212 drivers aged 18 to 65 who declared to have consumed alcohol previous to driving, at least once in the past 30 days. Intervention: Brief behavioral intervention to reduce alcohol consumption before driving. Outcomes: Frequency of driving under the influence of alcohol in the past 30 days, regular alcohol consumption (Audit-C test), level of self-efficacy and stage of change according to the Prochaska and DiClemente's Transtheoretical Model of Change, sociodemographic variables, driver's profile, chronic pathologies, long -term medications, level of self risk perception. Information will be checked against medical record. Information on a) frequency of driving under the influence of alcohol in the past 30 days, b) regular alcohol and c) level of self-efficacy and stet of change according Prochaska State will be gathered at one month and 12 month post intervention. Descriptive bivariate analysis to assess the distribution of risk elements associated to drinking-driving behavior. Potential impact expected: This pilot project will determine the feasibility of making a brief advice intervention in drivers under the influence of alcohol in primary care.
Main objectives: - To know the distribution of risk elements of traffic injuries Secondary objectives: - To study the distribution of risk elements related with the possibility of suffering from a TI in relation to medication, chronic health problems, and consumption of psychoactive substances (alcohol and others). - To know the relation between levels of perception of risk of suffering from a TI and the presence of chronic problems, medications, or consumption of psychoactive substances.
